I'd start with the "cue sheets" page on the Orange County Bicycle Club
website. Links to that and other info are on this page:

Orange county is not the obvious place for that, but last Sunday we did
find some quiter roads out west of Middletown. Sharon and I have also
enoyed riding some roads between Goshen and Montgomery (or further to
Walden if need more miles) -- I think out-and-back on those roads would
be my first choice. The link from that page above for "Resources ...
North-South" has more detail.

Another idea is the Orange Heritage trailway (also linked from that
page) which is near Monroe and mostly off-road. The problem is that
there could be lots of walkers, skaters, and slow riders on it, which
might not be compatible with you flying along for your triathlon
training. The other is that the trailway crosses several roads with
significant vehicle traffic.
